==History==
The station opened in 1897 as a station on the Kansai Railway, which connected Osaka and Nagoya via Nara. The Kansai Railway was nationalized in 1907 and became the Kansai Main Line. With the privatization of [[Japanese National Railways]] (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
